    Queen -“I know were married to either abusive, or mentally/emotionally unwell spouses”

    Abusive – there are all kinds of abuse. Did a therapist recommend divorce?

    M/E Unwell – Did a therapist recommend divorce? Now there’s all kinds of unwell, (a lot can be treated). As a matter of fact – every 4 – 5 people in society have a mental illness!

    Joe -“And it was one of the Gedolei Yisroel that stated that 99% of the divorces in the frum world were avoidable and unnecessary”

    This is unfortunately true. But the opinion in this topic that it can be avoided by either spouse is not reality!

    People like to get involved for one side or the other. The best thing for people to do is find an impartial therapist when considering such thing as divorce!

    Stimulants do not cause growth delay

    Weight does however need to be watched closely

    Stimulants do not cause drug addiction

    Drug Abuse occurs six times more commonly in Attention Deficit Disorder

    Here’s free advice:

    Is the throat area still infected? The way to know is by doing a C & S. C – culture the throat, if something grows then S. S – sensitivity – what the bacteria is sensitive to. What medication should be given to the patient.

    “They got rid of the cold, strep but the tonsils/adenoids remain swollen.”

    It’s possible that even if there’s no infection, that the tonsils/adenoids will remain swollen.

    What are the causes of Tonsillitis?

    “Causes and Symptoms of Tonsillitis

    Bacterial and viral infections can cause tonsillitis. A common cause is Streptococcus (strep) bacteria. Other common causes include:

    Adenoviruses

    Influenza virus

    Epstein-Barr virus (Mono)

    Parainfluenza viruses

    Enteroviruses

    Herpes simplex virus”
